AI should be better understood and managed — new research warns

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithms can and are being used to radicalize, polarize, and spread racism and political instability, says an academic. An expert argues that AI and algorithms are not just tools deployed by national security agencies to prevent malicious activity online, but can be contributors to polarization, radicalism and political violence — posing …

The history of Kubernetes

When it comes to modern IT infrastructure, the role of Kubernetes—the open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, management and scaling of containerized software applications (apps) and services—can’t be underestimated. According to a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) report (link resides outside ibm.com), Kubernetes is the second largest open-source project in the world after …

Zero-shot adaptive prompting of large language models

Posted by Xingchen Wan, Student Researcher, and Ruoxi Sun, Research Scientist, Cloud AI Team Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) are very promising as reflected in their capability for general problem-solving in few-shot and zero-shot setups, even without explicit training on these tasks. This is impressive because in the few-shot setup, LLMs are presented …

Nanowire ‘brain’ network learns and remembers ‘on the fly’

Like a collection of ‘Pick Up Sticks’, this neural network has passed a critical step for developing machine intelligence. For the first time, a physical neural network has successfully been shown to learn and remember ‘on the fly’, in a way inspired by and similar to how the brain’s neurons work. The result opens a …

Using language to give robots a better grasp of an open-ended world

Imagine you’re visiting a friend abroad, and you look inside their fridge to see what would make for a great breakfast. Many of the items initially appear foreign to you, with each one encased in unfamiliar packaging and containers. Despite these visual distinctions, you begin to understand what each one is used for and pick …
